You know darn well in the current TV world where nearly all 30-minute non-network reruns  are aired back to back for at least one hour at a time, the alternate unaired version with the specific 30-minute intros/outros will never see the light of day in reruns.

What did/does GSN run when they air Strahan Pyramid? Full hours or the half-hour edits?
It’s the hour eps. Weren’t they aiming for syndicated reruns, but as separate episodes?

* Bill Rafferty is the best host of every single show he's ever hosted.
I know many of us view Bob Goen as the quintessential "guy who deserved more work based on his skill level", but I'd campaign just as hard for Bill Rafferty. To your point, his version of Card Sharks is the only one where I'm not skipping through just to watch the Money Cards.

On that note, I'd argue that Card Sharks might be the most high-profile game show with a serious track record of miscasting its hosts.
